## Questions this page answers

### Is Project Cannoli under construction?

No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Sep 14, 2026) and Server Country (Sep 24, 2026) report it as proposed.

### Who is building Project Cannoli?

Google is the operator; the tenants reported are Google LLC. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does.

### When is Project Cannoli expected to finish?

Server Country reports expected completion in Dec 2028. That is a reported target, not a schedule.

### Which carriers serve Project Cannoli?

No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does.

### How do contractors on Project Cannoli get paid sooner?

The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer.
